Reminds me of Robin Williams' comment many many years ago regarding cocaine in a stand-up routine : "Cocaine is God's way of telling a person: 'You have too dam&^d much money' ".

I remember it took a little while because I wasn't sure how the numbers related to the keys.. I had to read something on the Oolite wiki to find out.

I'd like to see an option added to the F3 equipment purchase screen to perform a "forced" maintenance overhaul of my ship when *I* want to, not just when it is required by the game.

TGHC - Okies - that's pretty much what I thought (and it doesn't bother me - been playing that way for years). I understand the reasoning behind it, and don't object - just thought I'd ask the question since OOlite is the most current (and best) of the Elite-likes, and is undergoing constant develop...

Cmdr McLane - #1 - Yepper - whoopie - Return works .. Thanks #2 - Yes, I do understand that the controller movement actually controls the ship movement (been an Elite player since C-64 days).

Thank you all for the welcome. I look forward to many many hours of fine gameplay. And Commander McLane - I thank you for the offer allow me to help out, but, unfortunately, even though it is true that I am a retired programmer (25 yrs experience), 99.99% of that time and experience was in mainframe...
